A Program Organized by Emma Scielzo. The transition to high school sports can be challenging. Expectations are higher, demands on schedules increase, and the stress of balancing academics with athletic goals can be overwhelming. This workshop is specifically designed for 8th grade female athletes who are planning to pursue sports in high school.

A great athlete encompasses more than just physical ability. She must learn to balance competing demands and keep a positive mindset. She must take care of her emotional and mental health, while honing her physical skills. Perhaps most importantly, she must be a leader in her team, her school, and her community. This workshop will help each young athlete to develop the skills that will help her nourish her mind, body, and soul.

During this workshop, eighth grade female athletes will have the opportunity to learn from expert panelists on the topics of nutrition, sleep, sports psychology, healthy balance, community service and confidence. This workshop will bring together eighth graders from all around the DC/MD/VA area.

Elizabeth Beisel will be leading the camp for two days. An elite clinician will be added to this event for the final two and a half days...and will be announced soon. DO NOT WAIT TO SIGN UP. Camp capacity is 40 swimmers. There will be two elite athlete/coach clinicians in attendance for all sessions- plus local coaches on deck who choose to volunteer. (Coaches...there is a free "ticket" on registration page...please sign up if you'd like to attend all or part of the camp.)

For ages 11 and above. 9/10 year olds are welcome IF they have a state championship Q time in at least one event.
